Wind Waker: Two very different ways of finding something out from Wind Waker.

 Two very different ways of finding something out from Wind Waker.

Tingle Tuner: In the GameCube version of Wind Waker Link is given the Tingle Tuner by Tingle as a thank you gift for getting him out of jail. The tuner is an oddity as it only works if the player connects a GameBoy advanced to the GameCube. This will activate the tuner, which looks like a GameBoy advanced crossed with Tingle himself. The tuner allows the player to benefit from Tingle's interventions. Most of these interventions come in the form of information and hints about the many islands and hazards of the Great Sea.

When you said the motion scanner wasn’t picking anything up, you hadn’t yet noticed the thing wasn’t actually turned on. Now that you’ve got it turned on, you can’t help but be worried about how many things are moving near you that you just can’t see. Especially worrisome is the one dot that keeps creeping closer so slowly it only appears on your scanner as a ghost.

Tingle Bottle: In the HD rerelease of Wind Waker for the Wii, the Tingle Bottle replaces the Tingle Tuner as Tingle's gift of thanks for freeing him. The bottle allowed players to send screenshots and messages to other Links exploring the Great Sea. To send a message, Link must place a message in the bottle and throw it out to sea. Only for it to randomly appear in another player’s Great Sea. The screenshots and messages would appear in the player’s Mii profile, but since Nintendo ended the Miiverse the bottle is useless. 

Most messages in a bottle show up in your life on a beach where they have washed in on a high tide. What makes this message in a bottle a little different is that it appeared in your bottle of brandy just after you had poured yourself a glass. How did it get there, what does it say, and who wanted to make sure you got the message?

Here is the first example of me not coloring every item card in this set. I committed to making a color version of every different base line-art, but some cards are just swapped symbols or tweaked details, and they won’t always get a unique color version.

I am coming up on 1,000 Zelda item cards drawn, I have drawn well over 1,000 cards if you include all of my side projects, and I’m getting close to my 300th post. I don’t know if I expected to be keeping this project up for more than three years, but I am and I have no plans to stop anytime soon.

Be excellent to everyone.
